Legalities of remix requests

Hi guys, being in the Edm genre songs tend to get remixed a lot. So I decided to offer my tracks up for remix in the Edm community. But I still submit to film/TV. Is this an ok practice for film/TV composers?

Thanks for any advice. 8-)

If you ever try to place the songs with an exclusive library, this would be a problem since the rights to derivative works would be owned by the library.

I would also guess that the people doing the remix would own the master to that remix, but you would still be the sole "writer" unless you work out some other deal between you and them.
